Hello, I have two labs each consisting of 30 computers,both are one floor apart. Now i want them to connect wirelessly. What is my hardware requirement?
 
Solution
This is called a wireless bridge.
There are a number of ways to accomplish it, but the easiest is to just use a couple old routers.
This guide is REALLY nice, i highly recommend DD-WRT.

They aren't already connected by the network?

I doubt your labs have their own Modems, or even their own routers...
Modem -> Router -> Patch Panel -> Individual Devices

If both labs have internet, they are probably already connected.

Labs are not connected to internet. What i want precisely is how to connect two labs using wireless hardware. Should i go for wireless access points or any other better device.
